Yeah well you know what they say about painters.. they only get famous after they've croaked
And Misirlou? Hehe, I'm Arab and all, but i've never heard that term before.. you're referring to the song? (Thanks to Wikipedia)

yes, and since I like it so much, I read up a little bit on it, cause I was intrigued by the lyrics when I heard a greek folk dance version. And turns out, if the wiki is correct ^^ it has something to do with an Egyptian woman so that's why it reminded me of that song ^^ <.< and the arabian lines on her face reminded me of how I'd like to ride a dune buggy across Sahara, but that's another story

This is so beautiful! The detail in the eyes and the whole face is amazing! Definitely don't even think about scrapping it, because it's amazing and people should be able to see it when they look at your gallery. I love the different look to her face too, it seems to be almost glowing behind her black hair. And the eyes and lips are gorgeous!

Seriously? Thanks a lot.. didn't expect such positive response from people regarding this one.. and yeah, Ink said the same thing
I think this one's got stronger and harsher features than Bellucci though.
